Several other users on my project are reporting the same issue (using their own Trakt API keys).
It seems the rate limit is significantly higher than 1 second. Perhaps the server is having issues, or the rate limit has dynamically adjusted to account for increased load? In any case, the rate limit seems to be ridiculously high. Looks like roughly only a few API calls getting through per minute or so.
The response headers I’m seeing with the 429 status codes seems to be cloudflare with Server: cloudflare, cf-mitigated: challenge) indicating that Cloudflare is blocking or challenging the request.
The cf-chl-out and related fields show that a Cloudflare challenge (e.g., CAPTCHA or bot detection) is being applied.
I see what the problem is. It looks like there is a new unspecified rate limit set for re authenticating refresh and access tokens via OAUTH. I think this is something I overlooked initially that I should have accounted for when writing my original code. I’m updating my code to account for this. Updated code test seems to be working without issues.
Is there a way a ordinary user using apps that is now getting this message in all my apps? I’m not a coder, so above message meant hardly anything to me. I have re- authorized, revoked and re-authorized again to no results.
Ummm I am using trakt in my apps in Kodi. I am not a coder. Right now none of my apps work with Trakt as I am getting that API error and one just came up that Trakt is throttling for the next 2551 seconds. I have completely uninstalled all apps & Kodi and reinstalled with no luck even trying to authorise Trakt. I’m not a coder, bbuthave used it for years with not one problem with Trakt, until yesterday. I was going to join the VIP mainly because I have gotten so much out of it. I was going to support it that way, but b4 I do I have to know it’s working for me.
There have been some abuses of the API and specifically auth pages going on, so we are adding in rate limits to help deal with this. This will be ongoing for a little while we deploy new rate limits, check the impact, etc.
In regards to this thread specifically, it sounds like a fix is already out and the initial implementation was sending too many unnecessary auth API calls, which surfaced the issue.
Trakt now completely useless with addons in Kodi. All lists gone and some addons not recognising Trakt at all…Not happy…being using Trakt since 2016 and now a VIP member…
I had reported this late december in kodi i keep getting this error (CONNECTIONERROR: TRAKT API SUPRESSING RETIRES FOR 30 SECONDS)…yes spelled exactly as written here
anyone know why and is there a fix?
turned on my VPN and the error stopped, then saw this thread so turned VPN off and no error, but that same error started up again today. Not sure if this si all related or not as I am not a coder but I just thought I would mention it. Thanks
